Waveguide Near Field Probes up to 500 GHz
Near field probe technology continues to play a critical role in RF and mmWave measurement applications. Waveguide near field probes spanning frequency ranges from WR1000 through WR2.2 enable engineers to conduct precise electromagnetic field measurements across the sub-terahertz spectrum up to 500 GHz.
These probes are engineered for field coupling analysis, antenna characterization, and component testing where direct contact measurement is required. The availability of both stock configurations and custom length solutions ensures flexibility for diverse laboratory and field deployment scenarios.
